What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?

I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too

Edit: Usually these kind of posts only used to have excerpts from books or ancient proverbs, but now I am seeing a lot more quotes from shows/movies/games are also resonating with people. It's pretty cool to see.

If you loan someone $20 and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

(I propose replacing $20 with one day of your wages/salary, to keep up with your life situation and inflation)

I always loved this one. The version i knew was something like "...you just paid him to get out of your life" - and it it has been useful more than once.
